I Ebenezer Dunbar of Bridgewater in the county of Plymouth and Commonwealth of Massachusetts and a citizen of the United States in my sixty second year depose set forth and declare that I was a soldier in the war of the revolution on the continen- tal establishment and Massachusetts line that I enlisted in April 1775 into Capt. Daniel Lathrop's company and Col. Thomas's regiment and served at Roxbury near Boston eight months. Then I enlisted in 1776 into Capt. Brooks company and Col. John Baileys regiment and marched to New York and served there twelve months in the same line. I had no discharge what- ever in writing. I am reduced in my circum- stances and stand in need of assistance from my country for support. And I relinquish all claim to every pension heretofore allowed me by the laws of the United States if any may be or has been allowed. Ebenezer Dunbar

And Joseph Snell a credible Witness being present here before me the said Judge makes solemn oath that he the said Dunbar was in the continental army with him from March 1775 to the last of November of the same year and in the same Regiment - that the said Dunbar was enlisted for the year, but they were separated after November, and he can not say of his own knowledge that the said Dunbar, served his year out, but he has no reason to doubt it. -

/ Enclosed also are the depositions of Daniel Hartwell and Barnabas Lothrop. /
And B, the said Judge, do certify, that it appears to my satisfaction, that the said Ebenezer Dunbar did serve in the revolutionary war, as stated in the preceding declaration, against the common enemy, for the term of nine months, on the continental establishment; and I now transmit the proceedings and testimony taken and had before me, to the Secretary for the Department of War, pursuant to the directions of the aforementioned act of Congress, and is poor and needs the assistance of his country for support.
